PREFACE. 


This book is an attempt to explain the origin of 
life and of man on our globe, to give a history of the 
world and of the universe from its beginning, and to lift 
the vail which hides the future. It will attempt to prove 
the following new and original propositions : — 

1. That worlds have periods of growth, develop¬ 
ment, and decay. In a more magnificent sense, their 
beginnings and histories correspond to the beginnings 
and developments of individual human life : Inception — 
Embryos — Birth — Childhood — Manhood — Old Age, 
and Death. 

2. To know the series of changes in the life of a 
human being, is to know the natural history of all human 
beings ; to know the evolutions in the life of one planet, 
is to know the natural history of all planets. And in like 
manner as we study human life in all stages of its devel¬ 
opment, so, also, we look out into the heavens, and be¬ 
hold worlds in all stages of their natural existence. 

3. Comets are planets in embryo ; like the embryos 
of all life, they do not all reach maturity, being often 
precipitated upon planets, or drawn into the vortex of 
suns. They wander in space, carried by the ether cur¬ 
rents imparted by the rotation of great suns, until their 
consuming fires have condensed for them a nucleus, rock- 
encrusted, and a surrounding atmospheric envelope, upon 
which a sun’s rays can act, imparting axial and orbital 

[vii] 



viii PREFACE. 

motion, when they appear in a changed aspect, new-born 
babes among the planets. 

4. The earth was once a comet,— a fiery, phosphor¬ 
escent, burning chaos of matter, wandering in space. 
The comet earth, like the inception of all comets, was 
drawn by the sun out of the “ formless void,” “ dark 
waters,” distant nebula of space. The inception of our 
world was the flame imparted by the rays of a maternal 
sun, as when carbon gas is touched with fire. u God said 
let there be light , and there was light” 

5. The first day, or period, in the history of the 
earth as a planet, is now being re-enacted in the planet 
Neptune, the most remote planet in the solar system, 
babe of the sun, youngest sister of the earth. Neptune 
still possesses many of the characteristics of a comet. 
Stars can be seen through her in all parts save the central 
nucleus. Infinite ages ago, when the earth was young, 
in the first day of her history, she occupied the place of 
Neptune, and differed not essentially from her ; the cen¬ 
tral core of fire had become encrusted with red glowing 
rock, while a dark atmosphere of dense vapors, ten thou¬ 
sand miles in depth, enshrouded the world in darkness; 
thus u God divided the light from the darkness” 

6. The second day or period in the world’s history is 
now being repeated by the planet Uranus. Oxygen has 
found its equivalent in hydrogen, creating watery vapors, 
and from the depths of black sky is being poured out 
waters in one universal shower, while an intervening 
purer atmosphere divides u the waters which are under the 
firmament from the waters which are above the firmament.” 

7. The third day or geologic age in the history of 
the world, is now represented by the planet Saturn. The 
accelerating rapidity of axial rotation has caught up the 


PREFACE. 


IX 


superabundant cloud-banks of cosmic matter forming 
gigantic external rings. Beneath the mighty depths of 
dark atmosphere, mountains of recently upheaved rock 
lift their bosoms above the waters. In this manner God 
said, c c Let the waters under the heavens be gathered to¬ 
gether unto one place, and let the dry land appear / and it 
was so.” 

8. The fourth day in the world’s history, as at the 
close of each preceding day, the earth assumed a place 
nearer the sun, and occupied the present position of the 
planet Jupiter. Under the rays of a closer and brighter 
sun, vegetation, which began in low forms on the third 
day, now covered the landscape, as if by magic, feeding 
upoii\ and storing away into immense beds of coal the 
dark envelope of carbon clouds, letting in for the first 
time upon the surface of the earth the light of sun, moon, 
and stars, “for signs and for seasons and for days and 
for years.” 

9. The fifth period or day in the history of the 
world, our planet occupied the place of the asteroids. 
Stimulated by the life-giving rays of a still nearer and 
brighter stm, the fishes and low forms of life, which since 
the third day had filled the waters, now evolved higher 
and amphibious forms. ‘ ‘ The waters brought forth abun¬ 
dantly the moving creature ,” winged fowl appeared in the 
open firmament of heaven, the Age of Reptiles had come, 
and u fowl multiplied on the earth.” 

10. The sixth day or epoch in the history of the 
earth, she occupied the place and represented a similar 
appearance and aspect to the planet Mars. A nearer sun 
shone down with a new vitalizing power, transforming all 
the types of former life ; the human foot and hand, the 
human form and a dim miniature of the human brain,

PREFACE. 


made their advent in the world ; monkeys, apes, orangs, 
chimpanzees, and numerous human caricatures made their 
appearance, crossing, propagating, and rising higher; 
while out from the progressing and evolving cosmos of 
material, u God said let us malce man in our image.” 

11. The seventh day began with the Noachian 
Deluge, when the earth changed its polar axis, and 
assumed its present position in the heavens, a position 
still nearer the sun, bringing with it the calm stability of 
human history, and a period of quiescence from the war 
and turmoil of elements, by the activities of which the 
world had been evolved. u And on the seventh day God 
rested from his labors.” 

12. The eighth day or era in the history of the world, 
yet to come, the earth will occupy the position and place 
of the planet Yenus. Then will come a new unfolding. 
Man will become a being grander and better, the race 
will climb up to a homogeneous unity, all men will be of 
one heart and one mind, the millennium will have come, 
mankind will have beaten their u swords into plowshares 
and their spears into pruning hooics.” In that new T and 
more genial clime, when the earth shall have taken a 
position nearer the sun, “ the light of the moon shall be as 
the light of the sun , and the light of the sun shall be seven¬ 
fold in the day the Lord bindeth tip the breach of his 
people , and healeth the stroke of their wound. ” 

13. The ninth day and age in the history of the 
world, she will assume the place of the planet Mercury, 
near the sun, at last a laden world of death and rock, the 
tomb of all preceding ages, sarcophagus, shroud, pall, 
and bier of all the past, waiting for the resurrection 
promised by all the priests, u ripe for the harvest , and red 
for the winepress. ” 


PREFACE.

14. Then the earth shall plunge into the seething 
fires of a central sun, 1 c the elements shall melt with fer¬ 
vent heatf u the earth shall be broken down / it shall be 
clean dissolved Every sleeping energy, every physical 
and mental force hid away in earth and rock, shall spring 
to life ; every moral and intellectual principle, the camera 
plates of life and character, dust, with its engraven 
images of thought and love slumbering in the bosom of 
the world, shall be called up ; the great charnel house of 
the earth itself shall spring again to life, “ the dead , small 
and great , shall stand before God” 

15. Such has been and will be the history of the 
world, and such has been and will be the history of every 
plapet, and of every embryonic comet. They all repre¬ 
sent stages of development in the life of planets. To 
know the past and future of the earth is to read the past 
and future of all the worlds in the infinite expanse of 
heaven. 

\ 

16. This book will prove that the earth has revolved 
on other polar centers, with other tropics and other 
regions office-covered arctics ; that the change to her pres¬ 
ent position was sudden, overtaking the elephants of trop¬ 
ical Siberia in a single night, and preserving them in ice 
with the blast of frigid cold until this day, while glacial 
ages followed in the new tropics, by the melting of the 
ice of former poles. Such is the history of Utah and the 
ice origin of her salt seas. 

IT. Science proves, and the Bible teaches, that man 
has inhabited this globe for a period of no less than five 
hundred thousand years ; that there have been four dis¬ 
tinct human epochs, separated by mighty convulsions or 
chasms, which have befallen the earth and devastated its 
life. The last human epoch we will call the Age of Let-

ters, comprising the period of all hieroglyphics and 
written symbols, which embraces the Age of Iron ; prior 
to which time there was a distinct human Age of Bronze, 
back of which a distinct human Age of Stone, and still 
earlier, the half-human Age of Cave-dwellers. 

18. This work will be an arcanum of nature in its 
varied departments, creating a new science out of the 
sciences, forming of classified facts a geometric whole. 
The human inception, the human embryo, antenatal influ¬ 
ences, and the influences of society, will be embraced in 
their proper places. A new light will be thrown on 
existence itself. Human thought in its relation to divine 
thought, life and death, will be contemplated. 

19. The book will prove man an immortal being, and 
in gates ajar show an inkling of a glory beyond the stars.

WAY-MARKS OF TWO ETERNITIES. 


CHAPTER I. 

THE ROCK ON WHICH WE BUILD - MATTER, FORCE, CHANGE, AND 
CAUSATION—THE ETERNAL ATTRIBUTES. 

Science lias applied the term u matter” to all things 
which can affect the human senses, or act, or be acted on, 
by force ; in short, to the elements which compose this 
universe. 

It does not at present concern us whether matter 
is a gross material substance, existing outside and in¬ 
dependent of all consciousness, or the actual manifes¬ 
tation of thought; as proclaimed in Berkeley’s “ideal 
philosophy.” 

The things which we see, feel, and touch, which we 
can analyze, weigh, and measure ; viewed from the stand¬ 
point of a dream, are nevertheless realities: and these 
realities science calls “matter.” 

Philosophy, following in the line of Spinoza, Hegel, 
Kant, and Fichte, may yet demonstrate that matter is, 
after all, an apparition of human senses ; and all atoms 
the consciousness of certain forces, and of possibilities 
-unknown to us, behind which may lie hidden infinities ; 
and that this sublime universe is simply and grandly a 
thought manifestation, displaying through finite human 
senses, finite phases of its consciousness in human 

[ 37 ] 



CHAPTER II. 


THE PERPETUAL CREATION — DYING AND BEING BORN FOREVER. 

The evolutions of nature appear sometimes progress¬ 
ive, sometimes retrogressive; but in the sum total of 
things they are neither progressive nor retrogressive. 
The progression of one phenomenon compels the retro¬ 
gression of another. 

Life is possible only amid death. We subsist on 
death. Strange as the paradox may sound, we could not 
live unless we died. The blood in our veins is a stream 
of red and white globules, each a world of organized life, 
as perfect as we ; this is the food that supplies the brain, 
where death takes place, where millions of red and white 
globules die, and their life leaps out in thought, affection, 
and volition. Every thought born of man springs from 
death ; the thoughts we are thinking, and the emotions 
we are feeling, leap out of this grave we call a brain. 
This map of humanity is the blood globules of an unseen 
life at the death of which leaps out judgment. 

“Whose restless iron tongue calls 
Daily for its millions at a meal.” 

Planets are the blood globules of the sun’s life, at 
the death of which, plunging into his bosom, they will 
replenish his source of heat and life, and be wafted back

CHAPTER III. 


OUTLINE OF THE HISTORY OF THE BEGINNING OF THE CREATION 
OF THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH. 

“ In the beginning God created 
The heavens and the earth.” 

And now, reader, buckle on thy whole mental armor, 
and strive to get thee back, on the chimes of time, 
through eons of unnumbered ages, to a time prior to the 
earth’s formation, to a time anterior to the sun’s crea¬ 
tion ; and there in darkness and solitude, let the non- 
created mind contemplate the invisible universe. 

For there was a time, far back in the eternities, when 
in the language of Job,— 

“ He spreadeth out the sky 
Like a molten looking-glass,” 

when all the matter which now composes our system was 
chaotic ; 

“ Without form and void, and darkness 
Was upon the face of the deep ”— 

a darkness pregnant with the possibilities of existing 
suns, and a chaos in which lay nascent the dormant 
forces of present life and progress. 

Attraction, repulsion, affinities, and adhesion, with 
all the latent forces and active principles of matter, 
existed then as now, and elements, by chemical combus¬ 
tion, formed centers of motion ; while surrounding cosmic 
[ 62 ] 


CHAPTER IV. 


WORLD-EMBRYOS —FOOD SUPPLY OF FORMING WORLDS —METE¬ 
ORS, COMETS, NEBULA, AURORA BOREALIS. 

“See, a star is falling, said the people, 

From the sky a star is falling.” 

Such is the language of the poet Longfellow in his 
‘‘Hiawatha,” and Milton, also, in the fourth book of 
“ Paradise Lost ” uses a similar metaphor : — 

“Thither came Uriel, gliding through the e’en 
On a sunbeam like a shooting star,” 

and the most ancient as well as modern writers not only 
give accurate descriptions of the brilliant phenomena 
known as shooting stars, but employ them as metaphors. 
Homer, in the fourth book of the Iliad, describing the 
descent of Minerva from the heights of Olympus, says : — 

“Like a star shot by the son of crafty Satan,” 

and Ossian, book the first, makes the bereaved Furgus to 
exclaim,— 

“And thou, Morna, loveliest of maidens, 

Plunged in darkness, like a shooting star.” 

Plutarch, in his life of Lucullus, describes how a battle 
between Lucullus in command of the Koman army, and 
Mithridates, was prevented by the heavens suddenly 
opening, and there falling to the ground a large burning

THE PLANETS, PAST AND FUTURE. 











CHAPTER V. 


EVOLUTIONS OF THE PLANETS —THEIR PAST, PRESENT, AND FUT¬ 
URE—THE INHABITANTS OF EACH. 

i 

“The heavens are the work of thy fingers ; 

All of them shall wax old like a garment, 

As a vesture shalt thou change them ; 

But thou shalt endure.” 

Let us assume, for the purpose of conveying a clear 
idea of a principle, that the nine planets of our system, 
having been evolved from comets, all began, commenc¬ 
ing with Mercury, as bulky nebular bodies, on the ex¬ 
treme outer confines of our system, near the present orbit 
of Neptune ; and that through the epochs of untold ages, 
they have been, step by step, assuming positions nearer 
and nearer the sun ; and with each successive involution, 
the old orbit has been re-occupied with the early chaotic 
nebula of all the planets, in succession, commencing with 
Mercury and ending with Neptune. 

And in conformity with the record of Genesis, let 
the orbit of Neptune represent the first day in the histo¬ 
ries of all the planets, Uranus the second day, Saturn the 
third day, Jupiter the fourth day, Asteroids the fifth day, 
Mars the sixth day, Earth the seventh day, Venus the 
eighth day, and Mercury the ninth day. 

From the basis of this reasoning, it will appear that 
Mercury is the oldest planet of our system, having occu- 

[91] 


CHAPTER VI. 


THE SUN AND HIS CORTEGE OF PLANETS —HIS PAST, PRESENT, 

AND FUTURE —OTHER SUNS. 

“All night the dreadless angel, unpursued. 

Through heaven’s wide champion held his sway ; till morn, 
Waked by the circling hours, with rosy hand 
Unbarred the gates of light. There is a cave 
Within, the mount of God, fast by his throne, 

Where light and darkness, in perpetual round, 

Lodge and dislodge by turns ; which makes through heaven 
Grateful vicissitudes, like day and night. 

Light issues forth, and at the other door 
Obsequious darkness enters, till her hour 
To veil the heavens ; though darkness might well 
Seem twilight there ; and now went forth the morn, 

Such as in highest heaven, arrayed in gold, 

Imperial; from before her vanquished night.” 

The sun, ninety-two million five hundred thousand 
miles from the earth, is eight hundred and sixty thousand 
miles in diameter, rotating on his axis every twenty-five 
and one third days. 

A string of three hundred and forty beads the size of 
the earth would be required like the beads of a necklace 
to encircle the sun’s waist. If we represent the sun by a 
globe two feet in diameter, a pea three hundred feet 
distant would represent the earth. 

The sun is a body of gaseous, liquid, and partially 
stratified elements, surrounded with an atmosphere or 
photosphere of flame, and various metallic substances 
[ 116 ]

Early Embrtotic Stages. [ 81 ] 















































































































































































































CHAPTER VII. 


THE STARS —CHARACTER, MOTION, SIZE, DISTANCE — PAST 

AND FUTURE. 

“ Tnou, proud man, look upon yon starry vault, 

Survey the countless gems which richly stud 
The night’s imperial chariot. Telescopes 
Will show thee myriads more, innumerable 
As the sea-sands ; — each of those little lamps 
Is the great source of light, the central sun 
Round which some other mighty sisterhood 
Of planets travel, — every planet stocked 
With living beings, impotent as thee.” 

We behold in the sun a near star not essentially 
different from other stars ; they all fulfill an analogous 
purpose, giving light and warmth, and animating with 
life planets which revolve around them. 

That the stars or suns of the stellar heavens are fiery 
bodies, undergoing transformations and evolutions similar 
to the metamorphoses of our own sun or of his planets, 
there can be no doubt, and this is apparent in their 
changing appearances. 

Sirius, the brightest of the fixed stars at the present 
time, produces a white light, but according to the ancient 
Egyptian records, he was formerly red. Castor and 
Pollux, the twin stars, were once the reverse of their 
present luster and brightness ; one has increased, and the 
other diminished. In the days of Eratosthenes, Antares 
was less brilliant than either of the two stars in Libra. 

[135] 


CHAPTER VIII. 


OUTLINE OF THE HISTORY OF THE BEGINNING OF THE CREATION 

OF THE EARTH. 

“ In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” 

Reader, let us go back in the eternities, to the time 
when the unconscious and unorganized elements of an 
uncreated earth hung suspended in the dark abyss of a 
boundless and voiceless expanse. 

“And the earth was without form and void,” 

existing, or non-existing in the eternal profound of un¬ 
consciousness. Here the homogeneous substances of a 
future world slept in silence and solitude, unthought, un¬ 
felt, and unperceived. In this deep of waters no light 
had ever shone, no heat had animated, no motion moved, 

“And darkness was upon the face of the deep.” 

and more than darkness in the awful depths of that sea of 
solitude, indistinguishable from nonenity. 

Far off in the infinite expanse God had lit the dawn¬ 
ing fires of our sun, and his light, heat, and motion were 
bounding with lightning speed on a mighty mission ; and 
in them the invisible forms of Jehovah and Jove, sound¬ 
ing the blast of creation ; the chaotic, invisible nebula of 
our world was touched with light, a nervous electric thrill 
broke the spell of eternal solitude, chaos trembled with 
the flush of heat,— 

“And the Spirit of God moved on the face of the waters ; ”

CHAPTER IX. 


SUDDEN POLAR CHANGES OF THE EARTH —ITS CRUST BROKEN 

LIKE A CRUMBLING SHELL —THE DELUGE —A KEY TO MANY 

THINGS IN THIS BOOK. 

“He sliaketh tlie earth out of her place, 

And the pillars thereof tremble ; * 

He treadeth upon the waves of the sea, 

And overturneth the earth.” 

Dana has well said, “An atom in immensity is im¬ 
mensity itself in its revelations of truth, and science gath¬ 
ered from our small sphere is the science of all spheres.” 
In like manner by observing the phenomena of the pres¬ 
ent, we learn the history of the past and foresee the future. 
We therefore invite the reader’s attention to the study for 
a moment of a mechanical principle which will throw 
floods of living light upon what has been inexplicable 
mystery. 

Why does the earth revolve on her axis, producing 
every twenty-four hours, day and night? We have 
shown in a general way that causation is eternal, but let 
us observe more closely the chain of causes which impart 
motion to the earth. 

Heat expands, and cold contracts; this principle 
applies to the earth’s atmosphere. The sun shines upon 
one side of the earth only, consequently expanding the 
[ 148 ] 


CHAPTER X. 


CHEMICAL BASIS OF LIFE —MAN’S MATERIAL CHEMISTRY IS GOD’S 

IMMATERIAL GEOMETRY. 

“And I saw a pure river of water of life 
Proceeding out of the throne of God.” 

Behold the frost-work on the window, in picturesque 
imitation of landscapes; the mold on the cellar wall, 
waving to every zephyr ; the foliage of hill and dale ; — 
each the antitype of surrounding causes. 

See lichens feeding upon rock and incrusting it with 
their own stony forms; corals building reefs; shell 
fishes, armadillos, and turtles, covered with huge plates 
of stone ; adapted each to its environments. 

See atoms moving in obedience to affinities and re¬ 
pulsions ; motes in the sunbeam ; the flood of insect life ; 
feathered songsters of the groves ; all echoing back their 
environments. 

Behold atoms, fishes, reptiles,— the animal kingdom, 
— humanity ; all with senses measured to their state and 
place, and crystallizing into types, classes, kingdoms. 

Behold this human-mold ; in its cobwebs of brick, 
its temple-decked cities ; each atom environed ; and the 
whole crystallizing into classes, religions, governments. 

Look again with the telescope into this upper dust of 
the eternities, the frost-work in the ethereal sky ; yon 
Milky Way, waving a foliage to the music of zephyrs; 
dots of crystallized light, in fire-fly swarms; each atom

CHAPTER XI. 


SPONTANEOUS LIFE —NO LIFE WITHOUT ANTECEDENT LIFE —THE 
FIRST LIVING THINGS THAT INHABITED THIS GLOBE. 

“And God said, Let the earth 
Bring forth the living creature/’ 

Whence come the swarms of animalcula, developing 
iD water the moment it becomes stagnant, infinite in vari¬ 
ety and number ; the minute beings that sometimes turn 
a landscape of snow black in one hour; the parasites 
which infest other forms of life, and, dying, convert its 
substance into a moving sea of maggots ? It is answered. 
— From germs of a preceding life. The advocates of 
spontaneity have also made replies. 

We have neither space nor time to enter into the 
history of that battle which covers twenty centuries, in 
which great minds have been arrayed for or against spon¬ 
taneous life ; and the unlimited microscopic experiments 
of chemists, in which the victory on the part of the advo¬ 
cates of spontaneous life has been gained, and as repeat¬ 
edly lost. 

If we were not seeking for the truth, whatever the 
consequences ; if we were pleading the part of a lawyer, 
resorting to any means of substantiating a case, we could 
produce an array of statements from high authorities, re¬ 
sulting from experiments, that would carry conviction as 
to the every-day development of spontaneous life. 

[ 176 ] 


CHAPTER XII. 


THE MECHANICS OF LIFE —THE EYE, THE EAR, THE HEART, THE 

BRAIN. 

“In the image of God created he him.” 

Life is a union of a number of nature’s forces, and 
rises in the scale in the exact ratio of complexity. A liv¬ 
ing being is a combination of the living principles of mat¬ 
ter— a union of the forces of nature; and rises to the 
image of God when thought and reason become the re- 
cejptaculum of his thought; when it takes in the eternal 
principles of justice, mercy, sympathy, and love. 

Let us compare mental and vital physiology with 
natural philosophy. 

It has been said that “life is activity, is change, is 
motion ; ” and have we not shown that every atom of the 
universe is activity, is change, is motion ? 

It has been said that “life is a series of evolutions, 
from its inception to its dissolution ; ” and have we not 
found this to be true of atoms, worlds, and the universal 
law of things ? 

It has been said that “ life is sexed, male and fe¬ 
male ; ” and have we not shown that every atom of our 
universe is sexed, possessing an attractive and a repellant 
pole, without which crystallization could not occur ? 

It has been said that “life multiplies and perpetuates 
itself ; ” and have we not found that crystals evolve other 
crystals, suns other suns ; and this to be a universal law 
of things?

INTRODUCTION TO GEOLOGY. 

“Speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee.” 

The earth is a mighty book, containing a history of 
itself, every stratum of which is a chapter, every layer of 
rock an emblazoned page. 

The whole detailed history of our world is written in 
this book. Every time a Vesuvius has opened its crater 
and belched out fire and lava ; every time a Nile has 
broken from its bed and cut a new channel through a 
continent; every time a glacier has torn down a mount¬ 
ain ; wherever winds have played upon the sands, rain 
drops beaten, or waves washed ; wherever the worm has 
burrowed its home, and left its remains ; wherever life 
has lived and died ; wherever foot-prints have been made, 
— a record has been kept in rock, with fossils, preserved 
in sheets of stone, hardening from sand and clay. 

Every coral reef that built up continents in the early 
seas ; every type of fishes that came afterwards, and the 
reptiles which followed them ; every race of mammals 
that roamed the forests of cycles of ages ago ; every 
species of ape or man-like gorilla that inhabited the pre¬ 
historic earth ; every type of cave-dwelling, fur-covered 
men, with the marrow-sucked bones they left behind; 
every race wdiich had learned the use of fire ; every tribe 
which made pottery and stone implements ; the people

“ He tliundereth marvelously in the heavens, 

And the heights gave his voice hailstones, 

And coals of fire. He commanded the sun 
Not to shine, by the clouds which went between. 

At the brightness which was before him, 

His thick clouds passed hailstones and clouds of fire.” 

There was a time, far back in the eternities, when in 
this place of a solid earth, there existed a stupendous 
nebula of hot and fiery gases; hills and rocks were 
chaotic, phosphorescent clouds ; and the ocean wrapped 
around all, millions of miles of vapory tresses ; cooling 
and precipitating flakes of granite, which fell in steady 
showers from the vapory circumference towards the 
center. The more intense heat towards the center of the

symbolical'of a long period of time—ages, during which God was fitting 
this earth as a home for man. The idea of exact days of twenty-four hours 
each is neither required by the original nor by the scope of the narration. 
The Christian fathers did not interpret it as a common day. Augustine, in 
the fourth century, called the days of creation “ineffable days,” and described 
them as “alternate births and pauses in the work of the Almighty — the 
boundaries of periods in the vast evolution of the worlds.” How glorious 
the idea which we here obtain of God, as, through measureless ages in which 
he is rich, resting not, hasting not, but slowly and by the steady operation

SECOND DAY OF THE WORLD’S HISTORY - AGE OF FALLING OCEANS 

— FORMATION OF GNEISS —DESCRIPTION APPLICABLE TO THE 

PRESENT STATE OF THE PLANET URANUS. 

“And God said, Let there be a firmament 
In the midst of the waters, and 
Let it divide the waters from the waters.” 

The process of continued cooling and condensation 
went on through infinite ages; and the watery vapors of a 
high upper firmament were slowly yet surely u bowing 
the heavens and coming down,” and gathering in gossa¬ 
mer clouds on the face of the liquid sea of granite; its 
surface hardened into rock, like the formation of ice on 
the surface of water; and clouds began to precipitate 
moisture, and pour down flooding waters. 

“ Channels of water were seen, and 
The foundations of the earth discovered. *' 

Then commenced a series of actions and reactions, 
which for terrific grandeur and awful sublimity, were 
never equaled at any prior or subsequent period of the 
world’s history. Hydrogen found its equivalent of oxy¬ 
gen, and vapors wrapped the world in a majestic fold; 
while steadily increasing torrents fell from the black sky. 

Water, falling from the atmosphere, ran down into 
crevices of the rocks, and coming in contact with intense 
heat, became again converted into steam, breaking the

The conflicting elements of water and heat labored 
onward in mighty throes and convulsions, thickening the 
earth’s crust at every rent and seam, in every distortion 
and upheaval; and barren wastes of rock lifted their

heaved their breasts amid the billows, and slowly pre¬ 
scribed the limit of receding tides.

CHAPTER XVII. 


FOURTH DAY OF THE WORLD’S HISTORY - AGE OF COMING BLUE 

AND BLAZING SUN —COAL FORESTS AND REIGN OF FISHES — 

A DESCRIPTION WHICH APPLIES TO THE PRESENT OF THE 

PLANET JUPITER. 

“And God made two great lights. 

The greater light to rule the day, 

The lesser light to rule the night. 

He made the stars also.” 

The mighty operations of nature may work on in 
ruin and desolation, but her grandest achievements are 
accomplished by slow labor through decades of centu¬ 
ries ; step by step accomplishing plans, slowly but surely 
producing gigantic results. Century by century a steady 
advance takes place which cannot, in its fullness, be 
recognized save by comparing widely separated ages. 

The fourth day covered countless centuries, like the 
preceding, in which types of life were struggling upward 
to higher forms. 

From morning till mid-day, mosses and brakes were 
progressing and evolving, slowly but surely, to the grand¬ 
est forests that ever clothed the earth ; and through 
long ages of wonderful, magic growth, slowly yet surely 
devouring the poisonous black carbon of the earth’s 
clouded atmosphere, and preparing earth and air for the 
abode of life. 

The great, grand accomplishment of this age stands 
out so glorious and overwhelming, that the geologist

CHAPTER XVIII. 


FIFTH DAY OF THE WORLD’S HISTORY—AGE OF CHAOTIC LIFE — 
THE REPTILIAN ERA—A DESCRIPTION WHICH APPLIES TO THE 
PRESENT ON THE ASTEROIDS. 

“And God said, Let the waters bring 
Forth abundantly the moving creature 
That hath life, and fowl that may fly 
Above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.” 

The great, startling record of the rocks, beginning 
the fifth day, is the wide-spread upheavals and distortions 
which changed the position of former strata, setting the 
coal measures on end, or forming incline planes, at the 
surface of which the coal fields still crop out; while in 
other portions of the earth’s surface, they are buried 
deep with volcanic exudations, and later rock formations. 

Great depressions and correspondingly vast upheavals 
changed the relative position of sea and land. Yast 
mountain chains broke through the level surface of 
former plains, and lifted their granite heads high into the 
sky, leaving the coal measures on either side in inclined 
layers, or buried deep with volcanic matter. 

The whole rocky frame-work of the globe was broken 
up by the most stupendous convulsions the earth has seen. 
The coal measures were formed on the fourth day, and 
had it not been for that night of God’s ruin, when he over¬ 
turned the earth, and broke its shell like a crumbling 
wafer, which event divides the fourth and fifth days, one 
hundred and fifty feet of coal, or rather four hundred feet

SIXTH DAY OF THE WORLD’S HISTORY —AGE OF CHANGING SKELE¬ 
TON AND COMING BRAIN —A DESCRIPTION WHICH APPLIES 
TO THE PRESENT ON THE PLANET MARS. 

The reconstruction of axis, and the new and nearer 
orbit of the earth around the sun, which marks the open¬ 
ing of the sixth day, and convulsed the rocky frame-work 
of the globe, lifting higher the mountains by a new up¬ 
heaval, or sinking them with whole continents beneath 
rolling seas, changed again the entire relative positions 
of sea and land. 

Polar night gathers about the antipodes of a former 
equator ; while continents of arctic ice lift their white 
bosoms and cold, crystal, mountain heads to the glare of 
a torrid sun ; and the warm water of the oceans comes 
pouring in, unlocking the ice barriers, and forming stu¬ 
pendous glaciers, which are borne slowly away, in 
extensive deep strata of crystal white ; planing the mount¬ 
ains and chiseling their rocks into fragments, finally 
breaking into detached icebergs, loaded with boulders 
and drift-rock, which float far off into melting seas. 

I am aware that the glacial epoch has been an in¬ 
explicable mystery to geologists, and that they are in the 
habit of assigning only one such era as having occurred 
in all the past. The evidences of glacial action are nu¬ 
merous, and can be found in almost every part of the 
inhabited globe. Finding them the natural product of 
the changes of the earth’s polar position, local in ex-

CHAPTER XX. 


GEOLOGIC SUMMING UP —TIME IS LONG —GLACIAL ERAS. 

“ If all the books were written, the 
World itself would not contain them.” 

Tiie explored strata of the earth are meager, when 
compared with the unexplored portions of the earth’s 
crust. Only a small portion of the earth’s crust is acces¬ 
sible to man ; four fifths of its entire surface are covered 
with water, and polar ice buries the antipodes of two 
mighty continents, while impenetrable wildernesses still 
occupy the greater part of the remaining portion. 

Thus confined to a few limited points of the earth, 
and here only the surface is presented to the student of 
nature ; true, the upheavals which have taken place in 
all the ages have lifted to the surface various underlying 
strata; from these isolated leaves we have deduced a 
history. 

In these rock records, however, the general order of 
progressive evolution is clear; the known facts of geol¬ 
ogy, therefore, stand out like broken fragments of nu¬ 
merals in a long column of figures, 1-2-5-9-10. At the 
bottom, geology finds corals ; next above, it discovers 
shells ; higher still, it finds fossil fishes ; above, it dis¬ 
covers rock containing reptiles; and still higher, it finds 
the remains of mammals ; above all, is found human 
fossils.

WHIRLWIND AND DELUGE OF FIRE —SODOM AND GOMORRAH. 


“And the stars of heaven fell upon the earth ; 

Even as a fig-tree casteth her untimely figs 
When she is shaken of a mighty wind. 

Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and Gomorrah 
Brimstone and fire, from the Lord out of heaven.” 

There was a time far back in the eternities when our 
sun, with all his brood of shining planets, was a cosmos 
of unorganized matter, “without form and void.” The 
substance of our sun and system filled the boundaries of 
the most remote planets with one stupendous nebula. 

From this chaos of material, gathered and condensed 
by the slow process of cometary fires, has come our sun 
and an infinite brood of planets ; comets still swarm our 
system, drinking up the residual gases of the planetary 
spaces ; and extensive fields of the original cosmos fill 
vast regions of the solar system, intermingled with, and 
holding gossamer folds between the planets, in the form 
of the Aurora Borealis. 

When we consider the rapidity of the earth’s axial 
and orbital motion, and look through the earth’s atmos¬ 
phere into the adjacent space, oftentimes filled with cos¬ 
mic matter, aglow with light, is it any wonder that the 
northern lights should thus show lightning flashes and 
streaming prisms of rapidly fleeting colors ?

CHAPTER XXII. 


BIBLICAL CRITICISM —EGYPT, INDIA —THE BOOK OF THE DEAD, 
THE VEDAS —ADAM THE NAME OF A RACE. 

“ Is not this written in the book of Jasher ?” 

Adam was the ancient name of a mighty human 
epoch, a race of people who made their advent on the 
earth, far back in the night of an immense antiquity ; in 
whom first dawned human reason and the blending of 
such qualities — 

‘ ‘ That nature could stand up and say 
To all the world, This is a man.” 

The Adam of Jewish mythology, the symbolic and 
traditional father of his people, the Adam of the second 
chapter of Genesis, was not the first man, nor the first 
Adam ; the first chapter of Genesis bluntly declares that 
he was not . 1 

1 Adam was, it appears, a red man. Winchell tells us that “ Adam ” 
is derived from the red earth. The radical letters, ADAM are found in 
ADa MaH, “something out of which vegetation was made to germinate; ” 
to wit, the earth. ADoM and ADOM signify red, ruddy, bay colored, as of 
a horse, the color of a red heifer; “ ADaM, a man, a human being, male or 
female, red, ruddy.” (Preadamites, page 161.) 

“It appears” says Ramsey, in his “Preadamite Man,” “that the term 
‘ ha adam,’ generally used in the pointed text, that in Hebrew the prefix ‘ ha’ 
is equivalent to our ‘ the,’ and is of course an article, while ‘Adam’ was a 
proper name, and a collective patronymic, like ‘Israel,’ ‘Jacob,’ ‘Gideon,’ 
‘Dan,’ and ‘ Reuben.’ Though in some sense the term ‘ Adam,’ differs from 
the others, in as much as it was a generic epithet. ‘ Adam,’ without the

CHAPTER XXIII. 


CRITICISM OF HISTORY —AGE OF LETTERS — MORNING OF HU¬ 
MANITY’S MANHOOD —FORTY THOUSAND YEARS. 

The Chinese records tell of events that occurred 
among their ancestors one hundred and twenty-nine thou¬ 
sand years ago ; their records of government, still pre¬ 
served in their libraries, cover a period of eight thousand 
years ; and they claim to possess fragmentary records of 
government sixty-three thousand years old. A Chinese 
work, written two thousand years before Christ, deals 
with the antiquities, and advocates the adoption of the 
ancient systems of education. 

Whatever reply we make to these strange statements, 
one fact is certain, that China has sat, with her five hun¬ 
dred millions of people, within her two hundred million 
square miles of territory, in her cities, her monuments, 
her arts and sciences, the serene spectator of the birth 
and death of Greece ; she has seen the beginning and 
crumbling of both imperial and republican Rome ; she 
has seen dynasties, kingdoms, republics, revolutions ; she 
has laughed as nations have come and gone, like bubbles 
bursting in air ; she has looked on at the surging sea of 
wars, and the shifting map of humanity. 

She has seen a modern Christ, coming in the night 
of a modern Jerusalem, radiant with glory, and profound 
with divine philosophy, standing in Galilee and teaching 
[290] 


CHAPTER XXIV. 


HUMANITY’S CHILDHOOD—ANCIENT AGE OF BRONZE — EIGHTY 

THOUSAND YEARS AGO. 

Eminent geologic authorities, cited in chapter nine, 
have placed the ice period, in North America, at a time 
two hundred and fifty thousand years ago ; these figures 
agree with astronomy in reference to the changing in¬ 
clination of the earth, also with the changing relation of 
the North Star, as well as the changing “ sideral duration 
of the moon.” 

If we accept the above figures, we must carry the 
Noacliian deluge back to the remote date, at which time 
the earth’s axis was suddenly changed, bringing what had 
been the old arctic regions, Utah and the United States, 
buried in ice, under a temperate sun, and what had been 
a temperate and tropical country, Greenland and Alaska, 
under the blast of their present ice and cold. 

The tremendous lapse of time is implied from every 
standpoint by which we view it, whether to explain strata 
of earth above the drift, or the legends and traditions of 
the world relative to it; and in the light of close scientific 
examination it is the inference of the Bible itself. 

The great deluge, therefore, must be carried back, 
through a tremendous past, to a time earlier than has 
been conceived, approximating two hundred and fifty 
thousand years ago. These figures are based on eminent 
authority, and we reserve the right of changing our 
opinion in the light of new and more correct data.

CHAPTER XXV. 


HUMANITY’S BABYHOOD —THE PEOPLE OF TWO HUNDRED THOU¬ 
SAND YEARS AGO — ANCIENT AGE OF STONE. 

Scholars have long been perplexed to explain the 
existence of stone axes and other stone implements, taken 
from deep pits and excavations, sometimes sixty and a 
hundred feet below the surface, so numerous that wagon 
loads of these ancient axes, alone, are now accumulated 
in British museums ; picked up from railroad excavations, 
tunnels, wells, and otherwise underlying the gravel, and 
often associated with human skulls and skeletons, and 
bones of mastodons, mammals, and other extinct species. 

In the year 1819, there was discovered, deep buried in 
the Grampian Hills, the fossil remains of a gigantic whale, 
perforated by a lance or harpoon of deer’s horn. In this 
same Scotland, digging for the foundation of a church, 
was found a canoe hewn from a single oak, and within it 
a stone ax, twenty-five feet below the surface. 

In sinking ninety-five wells across the Egyptian delta, 
the French engineers under He Lesseps, came upon an 
immense statue of Rameses, the base of which was twelve 
feet below the surface; they continued to bore, and 
reached an additional depth of thirty-three feet, when the 
diggers ran upon numerous fragments of pottery and va¬ 
rious stone implements, of apparently savage workman¬ 
ship. In various other pits, in localities from ten to sixty 
miles below Cairo, and at a depth of from thirty to sixty

CHAPTER XXVI. 


HUMANITY’S BIRTH —FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND YEARS AGO —AN¬ 
CIENT CAVE-DWELLERS. 

It will be remembered that we dropped the thread of 
our geologic history in the middle of the sixth day, “the 
age of changing skeleton and coming brain,” the age 
prior to the Noaehian deluge, which, according to fig¬ 
ures obtained from geologic and astronomic sources, has 
been placed at a period approximating two hundred and 
fifty thousand years ago. 

In the middle of the sixth day, we had discovered 
numerous “ semi-liuman beasts,” arising to the form and 
figure of man ; numerous “ semi-human animals ; ” unlike, 
yet resembling, modern orangs, gorillas, monkeys, apes, 
and chimpanzees, with here and there hand and face, 
form and figure, prophesying the advent of humanity, 

“When God said. Let us make man;” 

and we are informed, in the fourth chapter of Genesis, 
that there had existed on this earth races of beings, in 
human form, below the image of God, from whom the 
Adamites, Cain and others, selected their wives, from 
whose brains and hearts there beamed no rays of Divinity, 
reason, reverence, sympathy, justice, or mercy : — 

“And the sons of God saw the daughters 
Of men, that they were fair ; and they took 
Themselves wives from all whom they chose.”

CHAPTER XXVII. 


BETWEEN TWO ETERNITIES. 

It has been said that u there exists between man and 
the animals an impassible gulf.” The brave author of 
“The Vestiges” flew his kite, and landed it safely be¬ 
yond the waters of this great gulf, by means of which 
Darwin drew across a firmly fixed wire; Huxley and 
Heckle wound it with cords ; and we have also worked 
upon it, making firm and strong the cable of the future 
great and popular bridge of science. 

When a small boy, my father took me to see the be¬ 
ginning of the then projected scheme of the Hoosac tun¬ 
nel, where men were at work boring from the two sides 
of the tremendous mountain of solid rock, forcing their 
way towards a common center. 

Such has been the plan of this book ; on the one side 
of creation we began at the beginning,— God,— and tun¬ 
neled our way step by step into the middle of the sixth 
day ; on the other side of the mountain, we began with 
the present, and worked our way backward through hu¬ 
man history, bronze ages, stone ages, and cave-dwellers ; 
and in the middle of the sixth day our openings have met, 
and we stand between the barren peaks of two eternities, 
surveying the beginning and the ending, the past and the 
present. 

Let us now ascend to the top of the mountain, and 
sink shafts from above, letting in floods of living light 

[339] 


CHAPTER XXVIII. 


GENERAL SURVEY OF THE LAWS OF PROGRESSION. 

The tendency of scientific thought has been to trace 
the origin of man back to single pairs. 

True, as individuals, each one of us sprung from a 
single pair ; this is as far as such a philosophy can be 
carried. 

Each one of us had a father and a mother ; therefore 
when we trace back our individual genealogies, we write 
first the number 1,— the me,— to explain which we dis¬ 
cover the number 2 — a father and a mother ; and to 
explain them we discover the number 4 — their fathers 
and their mothers ; while the number of their parentage 
becomes 8 ; each of which had a father and a mother, 
and the number is again doubled ; and so on indefinitely. 

Hence, as we go back in our genealogies, the number 
increases in this doubling geometric ratio with each ante¬ 
cedent generation, and by a few moments’ figuring, we 
go back to a time when one million of our ancestors lived, 
all at the same time, on this earth ; they represented 
widely different races, spoke different languages, and in¬ 
habited various sections of the earth. 

I see no law going back from multiple to single ; on 
the contrary, the genealogy of all life goes back from 
single to multiple ; and life itself becomes more numer¬ 
ous, in the same geometric ratio, as we go back from

THE HUMAN EMBRYO —ITS DEVELOPMENT IS A MINIATURE REPE¬ 
TITION OF THE HISTORY OF LIFE’S PROGRESS ON THE GLOBE. 

“There is a path which no fowl knoweth, 

Which the vulture’s eye hath not seen. 

In the shut-up doors of thy mother’s womb.” 

The development of every human embryo, from pro¬ 
toplasm to a mollusk, then to a fish, next to a reptile, 
next to a mammal, afterwards to a fetus, then to birth 
and babyhood, through childhood to manhood, corre¬ 
sponds with and repeats in miniature, the history of the 
development of life on this globe. 

The human embryo begins as an unorganized chem¬ 
ical compound. The elements next arrange themselves 
in a crystalline form, and it becomes protoplasm, pre¬ 
cisely such as the elements assumed far back in the past 
when they were mixing and uniting to form the first pro¬ 
toplasm on this globe. 

The human embryo next becomes a single minute 
cell, representing the early geologic age of corals. 

The human embryo next becomes a cluster of cells, 
typical of the next geologic age of sunfishes and low 
mollusks. 

The human embryo soon exhibits a single cavity or 
heart-sac, typical of the heart-cavity of higher mollusks, 
and in this stage represents the geologic age of mollusks. 

The human embryo next assumes an outline scarcely 
distinguishable from the fully-developed embryos of

CHAPTER XXX. 


PLANTS AND ANIMALS COMPARED WITH MAN —ALL LIFE BUT 

VARIATIONS OF ONE PLAN. 

What is there in common between a tree, birds warb¬ 
ling in the branches, or man enchanted by the sympho¬ 
nies of their music? 

The first scientific difference between vegetable and 
animal life is in the relative proportion of chemical ele¬ 
ments composing them. 

The elements underlying all forms of life are oxygen, 
hydrogen, nitrogen, and carbon ; in vegetation, however, 
nitrogen is found less abundant than in animal tissue. 

Man and the animals consume oxygen, and give out 
carbon through their lungs ; while plants, breathing with 
their leaves, inhale carbon, and give out oxygen; they 
are composed alike of a multiple of cells and nearly the 
same elements. 

We observe as we ascend step by step upward, from 
vegetation to animal life, a difference in the arrangement 
of cells, and the consequent formation of organs. 

The leaves of plants, which answer to the lungs of 
animals, instead of being clustered into one pair of lungs, 
are scattered in countless numbers over the branches. 

In plants, food is absorbed by means of numerous 
roots, while similar absorbents, the villi of the lacteals, 
cover the surface of a central cavity, forming the stomach. 

Vegetation can exist on crude inorganic substances, 
while man and the animals subsist on the same substances 
refined through vegetable growth.

CHAPTER XXXI. 


PLASTICITY OF FLESH —ARGUMENTS FROM SURGERY. 

False joints sometimes occur in the human organiza¬ 
tion. Man by accident breaks a limb ; from carelessness, 
or inattention on the part of the surgeon, the fracture is 
left movable, and a false joint is formed, possessing, in a 
rudimentary degree, all the essential characteristics of 
other joints. And instances are on record when such ac¬ 
cidental new joints have been transmitted to offspring, by 
the same law of transmission by which families perpetuate 
five toes or five fingers. 

Plastic surgery is the building, by artificial means, of 
absolutely new organs or parts. The necessary tissue is 
sometimes turned or twisted into position from a neigh¬ 
boring locality, thus leaving a blood supply ; often, how¬ 
ever, the flesh is taken from other parts of the body, and 
even other persons ; and success has attended operations 
with flesh from other animals, especially that of the chicken 
and frog. 

The ugly deformities of hare-lips are sometimes over¬ 
come by the surgical manufacture of absolutely new lips, 
with flesh generally brought into position from the cheeks 
or chin. 

New noses are frequently made, with flaps turned 
from the tissue of the forehead or from the arm ; and in¬ 
stances are related where a portion of the thumb has been 
successfully grafted as the base of a new nose. The sur¬ 
gical methods of the manufacture of noses have become

CHAPTER XXXIII. 


ARGUMENT FROM THE BRAIN — PHRENOLOGY. 

If this book was one of biography, and I was going 
to pay tribute to men, I should do it to the discriminative 
and practical understandings manifest in the writings of 
Gall, Spurzheim, and Combe ; to the bold but true, loving 
spirits of these great fathers of a new science. 

These men have clearly demonstrated that the brain 
is the organ of the mind, and that it is composed of parts, 
having each a separate office to perform ; that one por¬ 
tion of the brain evolves will, another reason, another 
perception, another sympathy, and yet others mechanics, 
mathematics, affection, music, veneration, etc. 

Tyndall goes further, and remarks in substance, that 
mental processes are the result of the agitation of brain 
fiber ; that every separate fiber produces a distinct kind 
of thought or feeling. 

The separate organs of the brain, therefore, run into 
each other by an insensible gradation, just as thought and 
feeling present every degree and phase of manifestation, 
running into each other by an imperceptible blending. 
And yet each separate portion of the brain has for its 
office the production of different passions, emotions, 
sentiments, etc. 

Size, other things being equal, is a measure of power.

CHAPTER XXXIV. 


ARGUMENT FROM THE HUMAN FACE AND FORM — PHYSIOGNOMY. 

“Tell me by what hidden magic 
Our impressions first are led 
Into liking or disliking, 

Oft before a word is said. 

“ Why should smiles ofttimes repel us. 

Bright eyes turn our feeling cold ; 

What is that which comes to tell us 
All that glitters is not gold ? 

“Is it instinct, is it nature, 

Or some freak or faulty chance 
That our likings or dislikings 
Limit to a single glance ? 

“ Is it ? Pray will no one tell me, 

No one show sufficient cause 
Why our liking and disliking 

Have their own instinctive laws ? ” 

Even as man is related to the animal kingdom, hav¬ 
ing been evolved out of it, both as regards his descent 
in the geologic ages, and also as regards his individual 
embryonic development, he still retains more or less the 
resemblance of his ancestral pedigree, and consequent 
relationship to various animals. 

And as in looks and appearances, so in character ; 
even as men resemble various animals, so also a sameness 
in their natures.

CHAPTER XXXV. 


SOCIOLOGY —A MOTHER’S LOVE —CHILDREN — EARLY 

INFLUENCES. 

We come now to the study of children, the flotsam 
and jetsam on the rude sea of life. How I love you, 
lamb-like flocks of little things ! 

“ Yours is the sunny dimple. 

Radiant with untutored smiles ; 

Yours the heart serene and simple, 

All unwarped with selfish wiles. 

“ On your dimpled, sunny faces, 

There are no deep lines of sin, 

None of passion’s dreary traces, 

That betray the wounds within.” 

Let us trace the child in its varied surroundings, in 
the influences which act upon it, for good or evil; in its 
wanderings, surrounded by the winds and waves of temp¬ 
tation, perhaps dashed on the shoals of dishonor and 
crime ; or perchance surrounded with kindlier influences, 
impressed by daily lessons, and stamped with all the 
markings of a noble nature, reared into manhood and 
womanhood; the embodiments of virtue, purity, self- 
sacrificing benevolence, piety, wisdom, and made the 
light and strength of society. 

Dickens has well shown, in his u Oliver Twist,” that 
inherent nobility and goodness will sometimes survive 
the force of evil example and evil surroundings, amid 
[408] 


CHAPTER XXXVI. 


CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH DEVELOP THE GREAT AND GOOD IN HU¬ 
MAN CHARACTER. 


“ I know, indeed, the mind that feels the fire 
The muse imparts, and can command the lyre, 

Acts with a force and kindles with a zeal, 

Whate’er the theme that others never feel; 

If human woes her soft attention claim, 

A tender sympathy pervades the frame : 

She pours a sensibility divine, 

Along the nerve of every feeling line , 

But if a deed, not tamely to be borne, 

Fire indignation and a sense of scorn. 

The strings are swept with a power so loud, 

The storm of music shakes the astonished crowd.” 

Discussing as we are the physical, mental, and moral 
creation, this work would be incomplete without some 
reference to the circumstances which develop the great 
and good in human life and character. 

Even as the world itself has been evolved from war 
and turmoil, by a long series of seemingly adverse cir- 
cumstances, melted down and agitated with fire, deluged 
with floods, buried in ice, tossed from its base, rolled on 
its axis, its shell broken in pieces like a wafer, only to 
rise out of destruction to a higher plane, to evolve from 
turmoil a grander serenity; so human sympathy, charity, 
nobility, and intellectuality are evolved amid the strife 
and conflict of human avarice and human passion, ex

CHAPTER XXXVII. 


FUTURE OF HUMANITY ON THE EARTH —PROPHECY OF A MILLION 
YEARS — PRESENT CONDITION OF THE INHABITANTS ON THE 
PLANET VENUS. 

“ The light of the moon shall be as the light of the 
Sun ; and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, 

In the day that the Lord bindeth up the breach of 
His people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.” 

In forecasting the future of humanity on the earth, 

let us attempt an ideal description of the people and con- 

• 

dition of society existing at the present time on the planet 
Venus ; and afterwards endeavor to analyze the forces 
and evolutions in the long ages of her mighty history, that 
have resulted in her present high intellectual and moral 
attainments. 

“I had a dream which was not all a dream.” 

I saw mighty cities, with ribs of solid steel, temple¬ 
decked and sumptuous with splendor, with walls of 
granite and roofs of marble vaulting up, abounding with 
sculpture, wrought from the most varied and beautiful 
stones. 

Ages of labor and human genius had accumulated 
vast forests of imperishable art. Beneath my feet were 
polished stones. Man had e’en excelled nature in the 
formation of columns of colored glass, china, porcelain, 
and other indestructible, emerald imitating, and diamond 
[430] 


CHAPTER XXXVIII. 


THIS UNIVERSE IS THE MANIFESTATION OF GOD’S THOUGHT — THE 
FINITE IN THE INFINITE — MIND AND MATTER. 

“TnE fool hath said in his heart, There is no God." 

It will be remembered that in the opening chapter 
of this book we evaded the discussion of the fundamental 
constitution of matter. Let us now, from the standpoint 
of logic, take a new view of the creation . 1 

We are forced to the conclusion, in the study of the 
human mind and its relation through the senses to ex¬ 
ternal things, that this mysterious and wondrous universe 
is not a mechanism of dead matter, but an emanation from 
the mind of an infinite and eternal u Ego and that the 
human senses are the simple avenues of its own divine 
and reflex consciousness. 

We can doubt the existence of a universe of dead 
matter, but we cannot doubt tlieexistence of a universe of 
our thoughts—a universe which appears to be — the 
universe which we think is. We can doubt the philosophy 
of atheistic materialism, but we cannot doubt the reality 
of an ideal universe existing in and through our senses. 

Even though the universe be an hallucination, the 
hallucination is a reality. Even though our senses deceive 
us, there is truth in the illusion. 

1 If this chapter is not a demonstration, then tear up your logics, your 
arithmetics, your algebras, and your geometries — they are all fallacies.

MEDITATIONS IN THE NIGHT 


[ 499 ] 









































CHAPTER XXXIX. 


GATES AJAR —CONTINUATION OF THE PRECEDING CHAPTER —THE 

LIFE BEYOND THE GRAVE. 

“If a man die, shall he live again ?” 

Were we for the first time to consider the scene of 
death, how confused would be our ideas in regard to the 
great mystery before us. “ What is it?” we would ask, 
and how anxiously would we watch for some signs of wak¬ 
ing, not giving up hope, until decay began its ravages on 
the form before us. 

And then, as we should consign to the earth the one 
so recently among us, a moving, breathing, speaking man, 
now a mass of decayed matter, we should feel that we 
buried there, not the body only, but the whole man. 

Physical nature utters no voice to tell us otherwise ; 
she emits no light to illuminate the grave ; darkness and 
silence rest there, till the light of revelation shines upon 
it, and God proclaims man’s immortality. 

Reason cannot explore the mysterious depths; phil¬ 
osophy contemplates a dark, impenetrable mystery ; and 
science shrinks from the great unknown beyond the veil. 

Yet up from the depths of our own souls wells the 
heaven-born hope of immortality ; the divine in our nat¬ 
ures, — thoughts and feelings, — numberless, nameless, 
unutterable, unfathomable emotions within us proclaim — 

“It is not all of life to live, nor all of death to die,”
